3 arrested in burglary of Camarillo home

Three teenagers were arrested Wednesday in connection with a residential burglary in Camarillo, authorities said.

Sheriff’s deputies, responding to a report of a possible burglary in progress in the 400 block of Calle Converse, arrived as two people were fleeing from the back of the home, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department reported in a prepared statement.

Deputies caught one of the suspects, William Acosta, 19, of Reseda, near Calle Converse and Calle Higuera, sheriff’s officials said.

Acosta allegedly had stolen property from the burglarized home in his pocket, according to the statement.

The other suspect, a 17-year-old boy from Simi Valley, was detained after a foot chase. During the pursuit, the boy threw jewelry into the street and bushes, sheriff’s officials said. The jewelry was later identified as stolen from the burglarized home.

A 16-year-old girl from Camarillo, whom detectives believe was the lookout for the crime, was found nearby, authorities said.

Acosta was booked into Ventura County Jail on suspicion of burglary, conspiracy and a warrant for misdemeanor vandalism. He is not eligible for bail.

The Simi Valley and Camarillo teens were booked into Juvenile Hall on suspicion of burglary and conspiracy, authorities said.
